Summer airfares may climb 15%

It's all about supply

One+ month ago I stopped a booking for oct euro cruise due to the airfare. At that time r/t to Barcelona was 1178 pp

I booked it last week for 478 pp

Travelwatch is my friend

I sure wish Southwest would come out with December dates so that I could book them!! We have a free ticket already and love that the first 2 pieces of luggage fly free. However, I hate that we are still waiting for flights to be available for booking.

I was gonna wait for the discount airlines to release their November calendars but this thread made me wary. I just got tix from DTW to MCO for $211 per person. But we are flying out on Thanksgiving Day, too. ;)

Gas is already four bucks a gallon in some states.

No driving to Florida for me , much less flying.

 

It's like paying double for a cruise already.

 

Gas prices are outrageous. It cost me nearly $2 to get to the port and back home. Used to be about $1.25 roundtrip.

I have been watching the flights for a few weeks now for my trip in September. They have gone up almost 80 dollars in the past week! :eek:

 

I am going to hold out...I still have hopes that it will go down a little being that I am flying out the week after Labor day!

I'm hoping the prices will come down before I have to buy my flights for my cruise in Nov 2012, Last time I flew to Miami is was $240/pp now it is $450/pp to FLL and they are about $100 cheaper than Miami. :(

I was gonna hold out too. Thought maybe I could get a good deal for flying on a holiday and coming back well after the holiday. But I got our tix for about $105 per person, each way. And I would kick myself if I couldn't find a good deal and got stuck with $400-$500 tix. So, GOOD LUCK! Let us know how you do! I'm sending low-price vibes your way!

I wish it was only 15%. I'd jump for joy. Last year I flew my family and daughter's friends to Cabo at $286 p/p. Doing the same thing this year and it's $411 p/p. 15% my a&&.
